Abstract

Cadet dormitory placement at Indonesian Defense University was currently performed manually by administrative staff, resulting in potential inefficiencies in room assignments regarding walking distance, study program cohesion, and cadet preferences. This research developed a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization model to automate and improve the dormitory assignment process for military education institutions. The general framework addresses 1,550 cadets distributed across four cohorts and 13 study programs in   dormitory buildings with standardized configurations (3 floors, 25 rooms per floor, 2 cadets per room). The MILP model incorporated three objectives: minimizing total walking distance to academic facilities, maximizing study program cohesion by concentrating programs within specific floors, and maximizing cadet floor preference satisfaction. The model was formulated with configurable weight parameters (w₁, w₂, w₃) enabling administrators to balance competing objectives according to institutional priorities. A validation case study with 38 male cadets from two study programs demonstrated computational feasibility, with the CBC solver achieving optimal solutions in 0.34 seconds (strict constraint approach) and 0.11 seconds (maximum occupancy approach) on standard desktop hardware, both with 0.00% MIP gap confirming proven optimality. The validation study compared two policy approaches: strict constraint enforcement achieving 95% room occupancy with 20 rooms, and maximum space utilization achieving 100% occupancy with 19 rooms. This research contributed the first application of MILP optimization to military education dormitory management in Indonesia, providing a scalable framework with empirical validation for computational tractability and a replicable methodology for resource allocation optimization in defense institutions.

Abstract

This study investigated the monthly purchasing patterns of consumers at Koperasi Unhan RI and developed forecasting models to support data-driven inventory and procurement planning. Historical cooperative sales data from 2020–2024 were analyzed using time series decomposition, autocorrelation analysis, ARIMA modeling, and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. The analysis revealed a clear upward trend and strong annual seasonality, with consistent demand peaks occurring in December. The ARIMA model achieved significantly lower prediction errors than the LSTM model and successfully captured both trend and seasonal components. A 12-month forecast for 2025 was then generated to support operational decision-making. The forecasting results provide practical managerial insights for cooperative management, particularly in optimizing inventory levels, scheduling procurement, and anticipating seasonal demand fluctuations. The novelty of this study lies in the comparative application of classical time-series and deep learning approaches within a cooperative context using limited historical data, demonstrating that ARIMA remains a robust and interpretable solution for small to medium-sized cooperative environments. This research concludes that time series analysis combined with ARIMA forecasting effectively mapped consumer purchasing patterns and produced actionable demand predictions for the subsequent year.
